Elements in Landscape is a practical dimensional reference that equips landscape architects and students with the spatial data needed to design functional outdoor environments — covering vertical planning, vegetation, and public space.
About This Book
Designing the outdoor environment demands more than aesthetic intuition. Landscape architects must navigate the interplay of space, distance, and movement across vastly different use contexts — from intimate urban plazas to expansive public parks. Elements in Landscape addresses this complexity directly, providing a structured reference for the key dimensions that underpin sound landscape design. Whether specifying planting setbacks, grading transitions, or the ergonomics of public furniture, this volume gives both students and practising professionals the technical grounding to make design decisions with confidence. A concise, well-organised resource for anyone working at the intersection of built and natural environments.
